On Sunday December 7, 2014, GT Sports Marketing will host a public autograph signing for Chicago Cubs 1989 National League Rookie of the Year, Jerome Walton. The signing is part of the 2014 GT Sports Marketing Houston Sports Collectors Convention in Houston, Texas.

The Chicago Cubs drafted Jerome Walton out of Enterprise-Ozark Community College (Enterprise, Alabama) during the second round of the 1986 Amateur Baseball Draft. In 1989, Walton became the Cubs starting centerfielder and was the NL Rookie of the year after hitting .293, along with 24 stolen bases and 46 RBI. He stayed with the Cubs through the 1992 season before joining the California Angels in 1993. He spent the last five MLB seasons with the Reds, Braves, Orioles and Devil Rays.
